Question

I'm 41 and was overweight pre-pregnancy. I've only gained 2-3 lbs (doctors verified) since being pregnant, but I'm already up almost 2 dress sizes. Twins run on both my maternal and paternal side. I chalked my "expansion" up to being overweight and I'm confident that since the doctor has only mentioned 1 baby- I'm okay. I'm not compulsive eating and maintain a very healthy diet. Am I being naive?

I agree they'd know. I'm at twin and had them chick at 5 weeks(which they told me they wouldn't be able to really tell conclusively at that point). I started seeing a doctor at 11 weeks they wanted to do their own ultrasound and, again, had them look. Definitely knew for sure only one! So you should be fine ;)
